Geoscience for the Future

The third graduate story is from Bright Aryee who is very passionate about the #Earth and its processes. He would like to remind everyone that it is vitally important to embrace every opportunity to learn. Read all about it here: https://lnkd.in/eDnmif47

Our second graduate story is Emma Bouie! She would like to share with you how important #maths and #science are for #geosciences and that there are so many opportunities for you to explore! https://lnkd.in/e2Xt8Bfp

🌏 Have you recently graduated from an Earth Science, Environmental Science or Physical Geography-related degree? 👂 We want to hear from YOU!! 📚 In 2024 Geoscience for the Future is keen to showcase stories from recent graduates, about their degree experiences studying geoscience themes, and their next steps into the big wide world! We want your graduate stories! Here are some potential questions for you to answer: 1️⃣ How did your degree in #geoscience help you in your chosen #career? 2️⃣ What have you learnt since being employed? 3️⃣ What knowledge can you pass onto students currently undertaking their degree or A-levels? 4️⃣ What do you wish you’d have known? Write us a blog! It only has to be 600 words, with as many photos as you like- we’ll help you edit it, and you’ll get some great outreach experience for your CV! 📧 Geoforthefuture@gmail.com

Our virtual French Geology Exchange is BACK! Get involved in quick and virtual cross-cultural Geoscience outreach! This is the 4th year we will have worked on this initiative with Bordeaux University in France, due to excellent feedback from the students on working with our geoscience volunteers! The idea is that students studying English choose a geoscience topic to deep dive into, and have a brief online interview (in English) with a geoscientist to help them with their assessment. WHAT: We are looking for geoscientists to volunteer for one or two virtual outreach interviews (over Zoom/Teams). Students will ask you questions about a theme (see below). WHEN: Interviews need to be in February/March 2024, and can be arranged to find a time that suits you. WHO: The students have chosen from broad geoscience themes - many of which have multiple specialisms nested within them, and some which overlap- if your expertise fits into any of these themes, we'd love to have you involved! Feel free to volunteer for more than one theme if you're keen! GET IN TOUCH: Drop the Geoscience for the Future team an email on geoforthefuture@gmail.com to get involved!

For winter, an icy blog!
